Bad ass and badass aren't the same thing - at least I think that's what Ray was going for.

We have a winner!

 Whoopsie!

I dont care what anyone else says, TPM is a steaming pile of shit. Only way to watch it is a fan edited version. My preferred one is L8wter's, its pretty damn good movie after he fixed it up.

 "I don't care what anyone else says" - then you won't mind me not giving a tinker's cuss about what you say either.

 

 hmmm...

Far from being clever, you now just look stupid with that remark.

I very much care for the opinions of others, especially if they're opposite to mine.  It's a good way to challenge your own preconceptions and see if you either have the evidence to stick to your original opinion or if you have the humility and maturity to recognise the value of another point of view and take it on board.

Otherwise, you're just blinkered and stubborn, pushing yourself ever further into your little corner, hands over your ears, saying "I'm not listening, I'm not listening".  Why even come to a forum, then, if that's the attitude?  Unless, of course, it's just simple hubris that inspires your every post - "Look at me, my deathless opinions are there for all to see, in black and white.  Aren't I important?"

Ever heard of the word hyperbole? 

Your line of thinking is what is wrong with the world, oh lets not have any strong convictions so we dont hurt anyone's feelings, its PC run amok. 

You have your own opinion and you are entitled to it, I just think that the movie in its non fan edited form really really sucks for many different reasons, the main one being the completely stupid midichlorine bullshit. Nothing you can say or do will take that turd out of the movie, unless you edit it out like a lot of the editors have...

Edit: HAHAHA I just got it! You thought I was replying directly to you. What an over inflated sense of self worth. It was a reply to the topic of the phantom menace and how I personally think its awful. The internet is always funny...

TPM is probably the most painful to sit through for me. When I watch AOTC & ROTS, for all of their problems (plot holes, dubious acting, flat direction, stiled dialogue) at least something is actually happening. Phantom Menace just reeks of padding and redundancy.

And god help me, at least with the latter two movies, I can see a hint of competent acting by Hayden even with the awful direction Lucas gives him. With Jake Lloyd, its just bad directing, on top of saccharine dialogue on top of a lousy child actor. When they converge for stuff like "Yipee" its just too much.

GREAT SHOT, KID! THAT WAS ONE IN A MILLION!

Well, actually, you stole the amazing point I was going to make and am slightly disappointed... but don't worry... I'll get over it... eventually.

That is pronounced "hyper-bowl" right? What a cool word! No clue what it means though. I am imagining a bowl that stirs its own contents? If not then I am totally going to patient that!

;)

Well, before I can correct you, I need to know if you were using hyper-bowl or not?
